So the vegetable garden is going pretty well. I'm glad that it's been raining at least once a week, so I don't have to water the garden! And, rainwater doesn't have chemicals in it, unlike tap water. The cabbages are slowly growing, and there are still no signs of bugs! I think the spinach seeds are sprouting, but I'm not sure if it's just weeds... Oh well, I'll just let them grow for another week or two. I haven't noticed many weeds growing in the garden, and I hope it stays that way.

This may be random, but I started a compost bin toward the end of last year, and there are now pumpkin seeds sprouting and growing in the bin. So here's how that happened: I wanted to make compost, so I put vegetable scraps and egg shells into a plastic bin, along with leaves that had fallen on the ground. It would eventually break down into compost, which is basically soil that has a lot of nutrients in it. So after Halloween, we had two pumpkins and I decided to put them into the compost bin. I broke them up with a shovel so it could turn into compost faster. I guess the seeds had just been in the bin, and for some reason, they had decided to sprout now. Pretty random, but it pertains to vegetables (well fruits, to be exact).
